How to Fix Spotify Liked Songs Not Showing/Syncing/Loading

Part 1. Why My Liked Songs Missing on Spotify

If you lost your liked songs, there're some possible causes:

1. Accidental removal or unliking

It's possible that you accidentally removed or unliked some songs from your liked songs playlist. Especially recently Spotify has replaced the heart button of the Add button (the circle with a plus sign inside it) to manage your liked songs. If you have removed all songs from Liked Songs, the Liked Songs section will be gone in your library instead of remaining empty.

If you can still remember the information of the songs, you can use the search feature within the playlist or sort the playlist by Date added, Title, Artist, or Album to identify any clues.

2. Syncing issues

Syncing issues between devices can sometimes cause songs to appear missing on certain devices, such as your iPhone. If your music library and your playlists is not synced across your devices, it gives the impression that your they are missing in your music library. If you have multiple devices, you should check your liked songs playlist there and try force syncing your songs to another device.

3. Filtering or sorting settings

Spotify allows you to filter and sort your playlists based on various options. If you have over 30 liked songs, it's possible that you have inadvertently applied filters or sorting options that are hiding some of your liked songs. You can check the filter and sorting settings within your liked songs playlist and make sure they are configured correctly. If you have filtered your liked songs, try resetting the filters to show all songs.
